Event details

Help us celebrate the launch of the reactivated University of York Campus Tree Trail, where the trees come alive with folklore, history, ecology, music and poetry.

Visit featured trees, discovering hands-on activities, stories and QR-linked information at each stop. Designed in the 1960s, the diverse campus treescape is an important home for wildlife and a haven for staff, students and visitors to enjoy.

Whether you’re a nature lover, a family explorer or curious about the living landscape around you, why not come and see how trees connect our past, present and future?

All the trees on our self-guided tour are part of the University of York Native Tree Trail. Look out for our drop-in activity at the Willow tree (number 10 on the map) to get started – just head left out of the Spring Lane Building on the lake side.
